Shaquille O’Neal has shot down a report that said he’s agreed to play a couple of games in Mexico next month. He did, however, qualify his own remarks, leaving open the possibility that he’ll suit up in the Mexican league after all.

"No truth to that,” he responded. “It's kind of unfortunate that so-called experts have to get their sources from the Internet. It's backwards. Especially like when people from ESPN know me and they can call me and ask me, but somebody else said it so they want to be the first to report it even though it's not true. However, we could talk, but nobody has contacted me."
